IMPROVEMENT IN HORSE-COLLARS.

'ilgs Stimuli refute): tu in time Vettttt ttent mit mating tutti its time'.

T0` ALL -WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, SPENCER RTAYLOR, of Oxford, in the county of Butler, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horse-0ollars; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to the letters-of reference marked thereon, which -form apart of this specification, in whichi' Figure l'represents a plan view of my collar, 'Figure 2 is a. side'view of the same, and Figure 3 a transverse section, taken through the middle of the' collar. 1

The nature of I ny invention consists in constructing a horse-collar with a partition in it, formed in the manner and for the purpose hereinafter set forth. y

To enable others skilled'in the artto make and use my invention, I will now describe its construction.A

A represents the collar, constructed Ywith two sections, B and C, having the usual cavity between them to receive the hames. v i A i Section B is furnished with the leatherpartition d, vthe said partition dividing the section B'longitudinally into two compartments, the inner compartment orA section marked e being intended to rest against the horses shoulder. t i i 4 The section e'willibestnifed with, hair' or wool, inthe usual manner, and the sections B C will be stuffed with straw prepared for that purpose'. l The advantage'of my improvement consists in forming, -by the use of partition e, a. distinct compartment for the reception of hair or wool, and leaving the remaining two sections to be filled with cheaper material. By this arrangement the softest material is usedlin that part of the collar which comes 'in contactwith the horses shoulder, and the cheap material placed whereit can do no injury, but will at the same timedimiuish the cost of my collar. i

I do not claim the use of two different materials for the stuiing of a. horse-collar, such an arrangement having been heretofore patented, but being provided with no means of preventing the material from becoming mingled or displaced; but i What I claim, and desire tosccure by Letters Patent, is- Y,

A horse-collar, divided bye. partition, e, into compartments for the reception of different materials, substantially as described. v

Intcstimony that I claim theforegoing as my own, I aix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

SPENCER P. TAYLOR.
